Russian partisan use is western military equipmentEuromaidan Press 5/30 Alya Shandra: There was a lot of talk about the use of Western equipment in the last offensive on the Belgorod region. Can you comment on this? [RDK leader Denis Nikitin told Financial Times that two M1224 MaxxPro armored personnel carriers and several Humvee vehicles were used in the attack – Ed]. Aleksandr Fortuna: The Russian Volunteer Corps uses only trophy equipment; we do not use Western equipment. [Ukrainian intelligence representative Andriy Cherniak told RFE/RL that RDK was using the western equipment that Ukraine lost near Bakhmut, was captured by the Russian Army, and again captured by the RDK – Ed]. Alya Shandra: Can you tell us a little about the role of the Ukrainian side in this operation? Did Ukrainian soldiers participate? How do they participate in your operations? Aleksandr Fortuna: If the operation is carried out on the territory of the Russian Federation, the Ukrainian side does not participate in these operations militarily. They help us medically, they help us with information, and they help us humanitarian-wise. But from a military point of view, they do not help us. If the Ukrainian military carries out the operation, we participate with different Russian Federation units. This is a standard military story, nothing special about it. |
